Have you ever wanted to say to someone ‘shut-up and just do something’.  We have all felt a since of stagnation at one point or another in our lives; a feeling of running in place or unsure of what to do.  During those times of feeling stuck, what happens next is more important then the feeling of being stuck…. the next should be what are you doing to get unstuck.   Folks get so content with just talking but not moving.  We all know someone that can talk about what they are going to do but never do a darn thing, I consider this being stagnant.  Dictionary.com defines stagnation as failure to develop, progress, or advance. 

I have had people in my life that can talk a good vision, I mean talk about it so much and for so long that you can finish their thoughts on the subject.  I am not sure about you, but this can be draining and a waste of mental space.  I believe that you have to be careful about what you allow to enter into your personal space which includes what you allow to enter into your thoughts.  I support people having visions but what I don’t support is when someone’s vision becomes just noise and more importantly for me, noise that may start to invade the sanctuary of my productive mind.

I consider myself a good and honest friend, I am confident of this!  I am confident enough in my friendships to tell someone that is depleting my ear space with stagnant visions to ‘shut-up and just do something’.  If I have a suggestion(s) to help them get started then of course I offer it in hopes that it will assist them on their journey of making their vision a reality.  However if see no change and the same stagnant vision is spoken then I will move on because at the end of the day I am responsible for what I allow in my personal space.

The next time you encounter someone with stagnant visions, help them if you can as this is what God has intended for us to do however don’t let someone else’s lack of progression to drain you of yours.

There are many things that I can’t control but I can control what I allow to take up residents in my personal space.  I am a woman of progress who has little time to allow someone’s stagnant visions to take-up space in my thoughts.
